Suggestion too many like alerts

[NM_Mitchell]

whenever you post something that gets a tonne of likes, it gets a tad annoying that you may have 10 alerts, and 9 of them are "x liked your post in y thread". i know, first world problems.
can you guys make it so that rather than a bunch of alerts, it's one alert, such as "x,z and 7 other people liked your post in y thread"?

As somebody who is a complete narcissist with strangely low self esteem, I loathe this suggestion

I thought everybody in the whole world liked likes

I don't think the system does that. When an alert event is generated it goes into a list. The system can't go back and collate the similar ones into a list. Something to suggest to the developers at XenForo though.


Alerts stop when you had an alert for a specific thread, but didn't visit it.

When there are more replies you don't get an alert because you ignored the first one.

== To get the alerts back ==
Click on watched threads. https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/watched/threads
click on all the threads in there.

The next time someone replies to a thread you are watching ... you'll get an alert.

It happens with replies though, 'X and Y others have replied to this thread'. Is that worked differently?

Hmmm... I don't know.

Pretty sure you can

Yep, it's in your notification settings. Do you get too many like me?

Thanks mate but it didn't work. I'm talking about seeing likes in threads. I don't like that. Can it be switched off?

Nah don't think so.

You can always turn the alerts for liked posts off?

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

You don't like been liked ?

I'm sick of being just liked. I want to be loved!

I think we actually used to have that for about 2 days, back when you could 'dislike' and a whole bunch of other things.

'Dislikes' would be interesting. It could help reveal your hidden enemies...for future reference of course

Ah yes, the two days forever inscribed into BigFooty folklore. Some of us remember those days, a scarier time back then. Many deaths, many likes, many rainbows.

Never forget.

What about lurking likers?

Ill post here because its semi related to the topic of alerts and I cant be bothered making a thread.
Im fine with seeing my alerts when im on the website but is there a way to stop getting emails everytime someone has posted in a thread ive posted in and or also quoted one of my post. I can keep track of everything in the alerts box, getting countless emails all day long is frustrating.

It was the highlight of my life.

Speaking of alerts: lately I've been getting thread update alerts many hours after the new posts have been made; like, 12 to 15 hours later.
